Maybe they think it’s much easier to force Anthropic to modify Claude’s behavior
I mean, I think they might be laboring under a misapprehension about what kind of technology AI is. Like, they might think that Claude and GPT have a dashboard with a bunch of dials, and that the companies can just turn off the guardrails, or something like that, rather than the AIs being artifacts that have (mostly) their own properties and dispositions once they’re trained.
If you thought AI was that kind of thing, you might (mistakenly?) think that the contractual terms were more binding than the technical guardrails, because you think that you can just demand that the company turn off the guardrails, later.
Then again, maybe the “technical stack” that OpenAI has in mind is the kind of thing that can be just turned off.
Maybe they’re confident that they can jailbreak Claude?
Maybe they think it’s much easier to force Anthropic to modify Claude’s behavior than it is to modify the cotract?
But I don’t see why they’d be confident about either of those.
